Overexposed: U.S. first lady Michelle Obama presents Best Picture award at Oscars...

I am glad I didn't watch. Is Michelle Obama a camera hog or is she preparing for a run for national office herself?

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - U.S. first lady Michelle Obama
made a surprise and unprecedented appearance on Sunday's Oscars telecast
when she presented the award for Best Picture, the first time a
president or first lady has ever presented an Academy Award.

Appearing live on screen from the White House in
Washington, almost 3,000 miles from the Oscars ceremony in Hollywood,
Obama praised the work of the movie industry before announcing the Iran
hostage drama "Argo" the Best Picture winner.

Wearing a silver evening dress, Obama said this year's
nominated films had "made us laugh, made us weep and grip our armrests
just a little bit tighter."
